q-loader

[RevBrown]

I just started looking into these

They seem like a good idea but it looks like loading the tubes would be a pain in the ***

Anybody that has used one can you give me some info pro's/con's

Am I just better off warp feeding?

[FutureMagOwner]

own a warp and a qloader, my emag has the qloader on it and i aint taking it off, i love it personally. its certainly different than regular loaders but i think its worth to work on getting used to playing differently since i think the pros outweigh the cons by far for the way i want to play

[SpecialBlend2786]

sorry, this might be a stupid question....
do the Q-pods fit in regular packs, like say...a Dye attack pack or a Blackstar pack?

[Adrenaline_Junkie]

Yep, they sure do. Personally i think the Qloader is the shiznit. I need to buy another one though cus i traded my hypermag and Q for an Emag. Its an awesome loading system and the pods arent a hassle at all.

[The Spanish Inquisition]

just curious.

Where did you mounit it? I've been looking at the web page and I don't like any of the setups they offer. Im thinking of fabricating a mount when I get mine at the end of this week.

[Adrenaline_Junkie]

I had mine under the barrel but since they have the tank mount out now im gonna put it, well, next to my tank.

[jwalker87]

you can put it under the barrel horizontally, or run it vertically like a foregrip, or beside the tank. Pretty much anywhere you can clamp it on, you can mount it. I like the under-barrel setup personally because it doesn't take up any extra room; it just follows the barrel, and also the qloader is MUCH more robust than people give it to be; it will protect your barrel!

how long does it take to re-load a qpod? ive been thinking about getting a qloader for a while... either that or an empire reloader b. if i stay in a full game, which i usually do, i dont have too much time in between games, maybe a few minutes. i like the idea of having a low profile, but its not worth it if i have to sit a few games to reload. if you have used both hoppers, i would be glad if you could tell me which you liked better.

[jwalker87]

i havent used both, but I can say that reloading really doesn't take very long at all. You hook the empty or half-empty pod up to the reloading silo and wind the paintballs in. It's that simple. If I get tagged, I'm usually done reloading before the game ends. It only gets interesting in those games when I shoot 300 rounds and stay in the whole time. The main time-taker is that the paintballs don't like to go out of the silo into the tube. I've heard of simply hooking an electronic hopper up to the reloading system and that works very well. Overall, I'd DEFINITELY buy it.

On average reloading a Q-Loader takes anywhere from 2-4 seconds. 5 if you're slow and take your time. My Pod Pack has a quick ejection sleeve so I can get the pod out faster but putting it back in can take some time. If I'm under heavy fire I'll drop the pod and not worry about reloading it at that time.

I'd suggest the Q-Loader for anyone who is a pretty 'stealthy' player. I do more moving than shooting, that's why it works so well for me. And when I do stay in one spot to shoot it's generally snap shooting and with my SO much lower profile it's hard to tell who is shooting and from where.

If you already have an agitated hopper you should use that instead of the silo. The AIC silo is a pain to use to load each Q-Pods, I use a Ricochet AK to load my Q-Pods and it works fine. Not just fine, but is 10x less of a hassle.

Now, when reloading each pod with paint it could take anywhere from 2-4 minutes. Sure it takes a while just to shoot 100 balls, but it's well worth it. I have no regrets about buying my Q-Loader. None at all.

i had a warp, and i have a q-loader now, and the q is about 1000 times better, my tank mount is in the mail, and it will make my IR3 Fly so much sexier

[Fanatic]

if you break in the tube..
how you clean the thing...and how much time?...if possible

[The Spanish Inquisition]

Take a look at the assembly movie and the loading movie.

After you get the hang of it I assume assembly and disassembly is pretty fast (a minute or so)

Qloader Moveis

[chris99506]

it is just as easy than taking a revy apart, and there are no screws, everything slides into place and it's hard to put it together wrong, plus i have yet to break in the tube, the spring isnt strong enough to break paint, but if your hose is the wrong length it will break 1 paintball in the reciever when u change pods, but it tells you how to fix that in the manual, all you do is cut the hose so the the last pb doesnt stick out halfway.

[jwalker87]

yep if you set it up correctly, you will get no ball breaks. The pod requires no tools to disassemble and, as said above, is fairly idiot-proof. Just be sure to put paintballs in the tube by hand before you load the pod, or 1) you'll essentially waste about 10 balls of your first pod, and 2) it feeds SOOO fast that all that room can sometimes cause a ball break in the breech.
